Microservices vs. APIs

It still surprises me just how many times I come across misconceptions around Micro Services and APIs. Often hearing phrases like micro services are fine grained web services or API is themselves are equivalent to micro services. These all sort of show fundamental misconceptions under the covers. So, I've written this just to really break that out and explain about what the key differences are in those two concepts. What is an API? An API, fundamentally Application Programming Interface, that is an interface. It's a way of making requests into a component. So it's the route that you go in to make those requests. In modern use that typically means a REST API, that's a call made using HTTP protocol using JSON data as the payload. What are Micro Services?
